About
A protein-quaternary hybrid conditioning agent combining a dodecyl (C12) chain with hydrolyzed soy protein and a hydroxypropyl cationic substituent.
Laurdimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed soy protein is a hybrid ingredient where a lauryl (C12) quaternary ammonium is tethered to a hydrolyzed soy protein through a hydroxypropyl linker. The protein component enables substantive binding to damaged skin and hair via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. EU CosIng shows no specific restrictions for this ingredient class. Protein-quaternary hybrids are known to reduce static charge and improve manageability. The hydrolyzed soy component raises allergen concerns (soy protein fragments).
Skin benefits
- Protein-based substantivity for damaged hair and skin
- Film-forming protective action on skin and hair
- Improvement of mechanical properties (strength, elasticity) of treated substrates
Known concerns
- Soy protein allergen sensitivity in sensitized individuals
- Residual protein fragments may trigger immune response in compromised skin
- Mild skin and eye irritation possible
- Limited regulatory safety data on protein-quaternary hybrid molecules
